Question

the pressure of the gas is 600 torrs at the pressure of the volume is 1000 ml at 760 torrs what is the volume of the gas?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of gas = 789.47 ml

Explanation:

$\blacksquare$ We know that from Boyle's Law,

Pressure is inversely proportional to volume for a gas

or

$\huge \text{\boxed{\boxed{P \propto \dfrac{1}{V}}}}$

$\blacksquare$ Hence,

PV ∝ 1

or

PV = constant

Therefore,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

$\blacksquare$ Given that,

P₁ = 600 torr               V₁ = 1000 ml

P₂ = 760 torr               V₂ = ? ml

$\blacksquare$ Putting this into the equation we get,

600 * 1000 = 760 * V₂

V₂ = 600000 / 760

V₂ = 789.47 ml
